Talk:David Webster (anthropologist)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The following comment from Johnny Clegg is written on his official website (http://inmyafricandream.free.fr/songs/s_one_man_one_vote_uk.htm)
"On May 1st 1989, while we were recording this album (Cruel, Crazy, Beautiful World), a university colleague, friend and anti-apartheid activist Dr David Webster was assasinated in Johannesburg. The brutal linatity of his death left one feeling angry frustratred and helpless. Three weeks later I wrote this song. He lives on through all the people he touched and he is deeply mourned and missed."
It seems to me that we can say the song "one man one vote" is inspired by, if not dedicated to David Webster.
